A Million Lights

As Germany readies to mark 35 years since the Berlin Wall fell, one symbol of the former communist East has become an icon of reunification, seen by millions every time they cross a street.

Researchers at RMIT University have developed a satellite tool that can detect plastic waste on beaches from over 600 km above the Earth. This innovative technology uses variations in light reflection to identify plastic debris, offering a new approach to tackle the growing issue of plastic pollution. With millions of tonnes of plastic entering oc...

Diwali Wishes 2024: The festival of lights holds a special place in the hearts of millions and it is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm and gusto.

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the most celebrated and cherished festivals in India. The festival of lights holds a special place in the hearts of millions and it is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm and gusto.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled Westerlund 1, the Milky Way’s largest super star cluster, located 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara. This massive cluster, with stars up to 2,000 times larger than the Sun, has a total mass between 50,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun. Previously hidden by cosmic dust, Westerlun...

The first fossilised head of Arthropleura, a prehistoric millipede-like creature, has been unearthed. This car-sized arthropod lived 346 to 290 million years ago. The discovery of its head helps solve a long-standing evolutionary mystery regarding its relationship with modern arthropods like millipedes and centipedes. The fossil reveals Arthropleur...

NOAA has issued a warning for a severe solar storm expected to hit Earth on October 10-11, 2024. This storm, classified as G4, is caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, travelling at nearly 2.9 million miles per hour. It has the potential to disrupt power grids, radio communications, and satellites. Additionally, the storm could enhance au...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the spiral galaxy IC 1954, located 45 million light-years away in the constellation Horologium. The improved view offers a detailed look at star-forming regions, showing pink patches that indicate hydrogen-rich areas where new stars are born. The image, created with data from the Hubble, James ...

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced $375 million in military aid for Ukraine on Wednesday, in a package that includes munitions for HIMARS precision rocket launchers, cluster munitions and light tactical vehicles.

Acoustic waves coming from near the black hole at the heart of the Perseus cluster of galaxies were transposed up 57 and 58 octaves in order to make them audible for human ears.

Recent findings have unveiled Ontocetus posti, an extinct walrus-like mammal that lived 2.2 million years ago. Led by Dr. Mathieu Boisville from the University of Tsukuba, this discovery, made from fossils found in Norwich, UK, and Antwerp, Belgium, provides fresh insights into the evolutionary history of walruses. Initially misidentified, the foss...

The discovery of a tiny arm bone suggests that an ancient human dubbed "hobbits" only shrank down to their diminutive size after they arrived on an Indonesian island a million years ago, scientists said on Tuesday.

A recent report by the United States has shed light on a series of human rights violations in China, including arbitrary arrests, restrictions on freedom of expression, and systemic abuses against ethnic minority groups.

The experiment was made possible by the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) tool which was travelling onboard NASA's Psyche spacecraft.

Warner Bros. will now allow Coyote vs. Acme to be shopped to other studios, following backlash from filmmakers. The live-action-animation hybrid film was originally planned as an HBO Max release and last weekend, the studio decided to shelf it as a tax write-off. Principle photography on the $72 million movie was complete, and now it will see the l...
